"A source from Pyongyang" told South Korea's The Chosun Ilbo that authorities issued an order requiring men to keep their hair no longer than 2 centimeters and requiring women to keep their hair at a bob length.

The men were told to model their hairstyle on Kim Jong Un, whose haircut is known as "ambitious" in North Korea (and terrible everywhere else). Women were advised to copy his wife.

Since Kim Jong Un took power, it has gotten more expensive to defect from the hermit kingdom.

It cost about $8,000 to get to China as of 2015, which is far more than the average North Korean can afford, considering the country's gross domestic product per capita was estimated to be $1,800 in 2014.
